Phil Poe, Men's Lacrosse, Senior

Apr 28, 2014

April 21-27

Senior face-off specialist Phil Poe set a pair of school records in
UMBC’s 17-14 regular season finale victory at Vermont. UMBC's
all-time leader in face-offs controlled a school-record 28 (of 34)
draws, surpassing his own school mark by five. He also collected 20
ground balls, eclipsing Nick Brownlee's record of
18, recorded on April 6, 1997.

Poe won 9-of-11 draws in the second quarter as UMBC outscored
Vermont, 10-0, to take control of the game.

Poe now has a career-best 112 ground balls on the campaign, the
most-ever by a UMBC Division I player, and is tied for the
fourth-most in school history. His 28 face-off wins are three more
than two other players who shared the NCAA single-game mark in 2014
entering play last week. The 20 ground balls recorded by Poe ties
Bryant's Kevin Massa, who has done it on two
occasions in 2014.
